ISIS delenda est

[Tank]

Tank, facebook stories are pretty much the global leader in  fw:fw:fw:fw stories.  Now could someone identify with ISIS and do an isolated attack here, sure, same as any nut, however, they are not driving their white pickups, wearing ski masks and waving black flags over the border and into our towns and executing people, ever. 

 

These idiots are cowards who prey on the weak in strife torn areas.  They are not some elite special forces.  That's the facebook story I get anyway.

Agree completely. I saw that snopes has weighed in on the issue, too.

Ted Cruz has a lofty goal if elected president. He wants to destroy "radical Islamic terrorism" everywhere. Not degrade it, but destroy it. I hope he realizes we'll have to wage total war against at least 20 countries to even have a chance of doing that.

Not gonna happen.

I'm sure that this will be immensely popular as a sound byte talking point, but when you talk about actually doing it, this would be a very expensive and prolonged operation. Given the distaste in most Arabic countries for having western troops within their borders, it could also have the effect of acting as a recruiting tool for ISIS or some spinoff group.

ISIS takes credit for the botched attack in Garland, Texas and warns of harsher ones to come.

A lone police officer shot dead the two men who were armed with automatic weapons and who intended to shoot as many people as possible. They were homegrown jihadis. There have been reports of an ISIS training camp in northern Mexico, and we know how hard it is to come across the border these days.

[TobiasFunke]

I'll give those jihadis a dollar each if they can make it through the deserts with those muu muus they wear.

Yeah nothing about the middle east prepares you for a desert crossing.

Only a matter of time til ISIS taco trucks are driving through the streets of LA

Fan I know the sky is falling and there will be attacks that ISIS takes credit for.  First have an "it's our constitutional right of freedom of speech to mock another religion and you get wing nuts. Second, a parking cop with only his service revolver took these ISIS pros down when they had ak-47's and body armor.  Sure the unarmed security guard got hit in the ankle, but he was released from the hospital 2 hours later, so likely a graze.  I know you want an attack on our soil to blame Obama. The more the right makes fun of Islam, the more amateurs will come out of the woodwork.  Should people maybe rethink the fear and panic and act normal?

My daughter has her graduation at the same place this month because that is where they go in this school district.  My suggestion is don't do any Muhammad cartoons and all should go well.

ISIS tacos are bomb!

[Spirit]

Not that they taste good, they're actually bombs. 

[Mark68]

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that someone claiming to be with ISIS or related to ISIS tried to do his utmost to disrupt a "Cartoons of Muhammad" convention. Have we not learned that actions have consequences? The best way to drive recruitment for ISIS or some other Muslim extremist group is to mock the Prophet Muhammad.

 

Edit: Then again, I've never accused Texans of being smart.

I am not sure that goat and hummus makes a good taco.

I agree about using common sense. Just because we CAN make fun of the prophet doesn't mean we SHOULD make fun of the prophet. It serves no purpose right now other than to be ammunition for the extremists.

It is your Constitutional right to poke the bear. Enjoy

[InsideThePark]

The woman who ran that event is a wingnut. She thinks that Israel should take Gaza, which would inevitably result in thousands more killed and millions of refugees. Most Jews would want nothing to do with that.

[Spirit]

But she didn't shoot anyone.

You're not a very good mind reader. I want nothing of the sort.

 

Have a good day.

[InsideThePark]

I don't think fs wants any tragedies - but if there is one, he openly pulls for it to be the act of Muslim extremists. We saw that a few weeks ago in the Germanswings plane crash thread.

Well ... yes.  I mean, they are still tacos after all.  

[Glen]

Now I want a taco.

[Tank]

i have a tough time finding a decent taco, although i had some pretty decent potato tacos at our school fair on sunday.

Why do you constantly feel the need to make this stuff personal.  Just stop it.
